A SUMMARY OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
John 14:16-18
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he
may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it
seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in
you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
The doctrine of the Holy Spirit is very controversial to say the least. I want to present a simple
summary of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit. It will not be extensive and the value of it to you will
depend on your running the references and reading the verses for yourself.
1. The Holy Spirit comes as a result of the intercession of Jesus: “And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter . . .” The work of the Holy Spirit is seen in the word
“Comforter.” Jesus speaks of “another Comforter.” Jesus was their Comforter at the time He
spoke this. So the Holy Spirit is to TAKE HIS PLACE once He departs after the resurrection to
be our High Priest in the presence of God. +Today Jesus is THE ONE MEDIATOR between
God and man (1 Tim. 2:5).
2. The Holy Spirit is a GIFT. Note the words of Christ, “and he (The Father) shall give you
another Comforter.” The word “give” translates “didomi” and means, “to give something to
someone.” Roy Hession used to say, “The Holy Spirit is not a reward for our faithfulness but
God’s gift to our weakness.” That is so true. When I am willing to take the LOW place, the
WEAK place, I am in a position to receive the work of the Holy Spirit in me. Too many of us try
to CLIMB to find Him and He is always just out of reach. We need to crawl because there is
where He is.
3. The Holy Spirit is as someone has said, “Heavens throne gift.” This is brought out in Acts
2:33: “Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father thepromise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.” Jesus “received
of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost.” This is in keeping with number one above where
Jesus said, “I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter.” The Holy Spirit is a
gift of the Father to the Son and the Son to His people.
4. The Holy Spirit is not new to the people of God. The coming of the Holy Spirit on
Pentecost was to fulfill a special roll in this age. The Holy Spirit was active in creation (Gen.
1:2), strove with man about his need of salvation before the flood (Gen. 6:3), filled Old
Testament believers for special work (Exo. 31:3; 35:31), the Holy Spirit was vexed at wrong
actions in the O.T. (Isa. 63:10), the Holy Spirit indwelt Moses (Isa. 63:11). So indwelling is not
exclusively New Testament.
5. Since Pentecost the Holy Spirit comes into the life of the believer at salvation. Ephesians
1:13 says, “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.”
THIS IS A DEFINITIVE STATEMENT STATING WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES INTO
THE BELIEVER. For the believer to pray for the COMING of the Holy Spirit (that is what
many are doing when they pray for the baptism of the Holy Spirit) would be like me asking you
over and over again to come into my home when you are standing right there at the time I am
ask
